For Trade dollars it's kind of counter productive though, there's enough already and a decent number of people dislike them shrinking the potential market. The ones that get the most scrutiny are when you see them on unusual things like a Seated dollar or Half So when you see a slabbed Trade dollar with chop marks and it's labeled "Details", is that because of the chop marks?

Most will be for something else like cleaned. There was a time though where they would get details graded just for having the chop marks but that would be an issue with old holders. https://www.PCGS.com/news/PCGS-Now-...rade-Dollars that's their short announcement in 2003. They'll note it if they think the chops are fake, just like they note artificial wear on low balls when they don't like the look. I believe NGC details all chop marks Report this Post to the Staff

Agreed. I am not a fan of them myself and have an unmolested one in my 7070.

GMS5 Pillar of the Community Canada 1529 Posts	Posted 08/27/2018 4:45 pm Trade dollars with Chop Marks are the only coins I collect that are "defaced". As they were meant only for Eastern Asia, I think it's a lot of fun to decipher the Chops to try and see where its been. Especially from 140 years ago when travel took forever. They are absolutely great conversation starters as well. And I only collect the ones where the chops don't obliterate Liberty's face or out stretched arm, or the eagles head. As well, it must be graded already, thereby alleviating the worrying about it being a counterfeit. Report this Post to the Staff
